Expensive, crowded, and mostly broken games. Not worth the cover price, not well maintained games.

Edit: I have to edit this since the owner felt like responding.
If you want your kids to run around screaming while you have a beer, this is the place.
If you want to play some games, there really is no other option.
There is no arcade scene on Ontario. It's this, or spend tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars to build your own arcade.
It's sad. Kids have no appreciation for the machines and break the them out of sheer ignorance.Smashing buttons and yanking sticks while parents ignore them.

Bottom line is: the staff couldn't be bothered to repair the machines. If you're looking for a good MK, SF, or lightgun game, look elsewhere, they're all broken. Pinball, 5/15 broken, and of those working, 5 are never played because they suck. At least the London location was cheaper.

We there to celebrate my birthday on a Saturday but my birthday actual was on that Monday coming, I told the lady at the door who collected the cash to get in that I'm celebrating my birthday she said is it that day I said no its Monday so she said if it was then I'd get in free so she charged me to get in lol that was funny but anyways the place is super noisy I know its an arcade but they had a dj playing music too so it was total Chaos: Pandemonium, Bedlam, Mayhem, Tumult. No body cleared our table l had to keep taking the empty glasses to the bar. Never going back there it was trash. The food wasn't bad tho.

This place rocks. $10 cover charge and all game play is free. About 18 pinballs, lots of video games and sit-down booths with consoles like Nintendo 64.
Los of draft and drink choices.
I've never eaten there but it smells really good.
My buddy and I were there for over 6 hours on Saturday.

Staff is efficient and friendly. Great place to take kids for a birthday. Good to have a place to take kids that are too big for indoor playgrounds but still want to get together for something fun.

This place was a pleasant surprise. I went here with my friend from Toronto and we had a blast. The environment was great and energetic. There was a wide variety of games to play ranging from pinball, retro arcade games, DDR, Guitar Hero, Skeeball and more. There were also booths with emulation devices to play retro games like NES, SNES, N64 and more.

The food was surprisingly great! The prices were fair considering the entry fee was only $10 per person and all the machines were free to play. The staff was helpful and polite despite being busy. It was a great night out and I would recommend to anyone looking to have a fun time to unwind after a long days work.

I came for pinball and got what I wanted. Only docked a star because some of the machines weren't playing well. Addams family kept getting the ball stuck on the swamp/graveyard hole and the far left flipper is missing the bottom half. KISS right flipper is sticking. Guns and roses right flipper sometimes doesn't work and when it does it won't stay engaged. The Street Fighter cabinet 2P side randomly punches just by moving the stick, this one sucked since I love playing Third Strike. 2P guitar on guitar hero needs a really hard press on yellow to register and it randomly drops or engages without you doing anything.

Other than that everything played perfectly, there are plenty of machines to choose from!

One of my favourite places to go in Toronto! $10 unlimited play arcade makes all other arcade bars look like a rip off. Drinks are spectacular, atmosphere is magical, game selection is pure mint. Honestly leave looking forward to next time!

Amazing staff, from doorman to DJ to bartender. Super fun to go as a group. Shout out to Saturday night DJ especially for dropping bangers all night!

Went there at 6pm, refused to let myself (24) and GF (24) inside. Website clearly states that all ages are able to come inside prior to 8:00 p.m. without ID, THIS IS A HUGE LIE. You will be turned away at the door in -30 weather ❌❌❌DO NOT VISIT THIS LOCATION.

I’ve been here several times and the staff have always been very kind! They have a great selection of games and beer and the $10 entry fee is very reasonable considering you can play all of the games inside for free (just don’t forget to bring cash for the entry fee!)

Based on some of the 1 star reviews here I feel compelled to mention that the bouncer was also very friendly. Everyone in my party had a valid ID and therefore we had no trouble entering

Andrew Clarkson

Fun place. $10 cover is decent. $38 for a mediocre burger, fries and a beer is wild.

Kevin Perera

$10 for unlimited play. Love the vibe and service is incredibly friendly. Great date spot or place to kill time had so much fun here.

I don’t know why everyone is saying the staff are rude. Everyone we interacted with was so nice. We had a great time, such a fun spot. Just don’t forget your ID and don’t be a jerk. They’re just doing their jobs!
